"WFDF had a very productive 2019 and, starting with this new year, will again rely on an experienced Board in order to best meet all the upcoming challenges," WFDF President Robert "Nob" Rauch said.

"WFDF is going to organise three major World Championships events in ultimate and guts in 2020 with our World Championship national team events, as well as beach ultimate for the Pan American Masters Games, where we will showcase flying disc with venues in Europe, Australia and South America.

"I would like to use this opportunity again to express full confidence in and gratitude for our team of staff and volunteers to be able to manage the workload.

"I would like to thank outgoing Board member Jesus Loreto for his tremendous support over many years, particularly as a founding President of the Pan American Flying Disc Federation. 

"I also would like to thank Athletes' Commission chair Ali Tincknell and SOTG Committee chair Travis Smith for their many contributions during their tenure."

The WFDF is the International Federation (IF) responsible for the world governance of frisbee sports, including ultimate, disc golf, freestyle, guts and overall.

It is an IF of 86 member associations which represent flying disc and their athletes in 84 countries.
